Morning

Most often, the best part of my day is in the morning.

On school days I usually get up first, wake Mars and make sure he's getting dressed, and then I creep into Venus' room to wake her up.

She is a little angel, wrapped up in her bright blankets with that serene expression that happily sleeping children share.

I kneel down beside her bed and I kiss her on the cheek. Her eyes slowly open and then she smiles, and the sun shines.

She says "Mummy!" and she wraps her arms around my neck.

And even though I know that later there will be tears over something unimportant, it doesn't matter because at that moment, there is only love.
